2:41
Speaker 6: Hey, good morning day, Thanks for having me.
2:43
Speaker 4: Thank you for being here. Three people got the nod
2:47
Speaker 4: to be on the school board on Tuesday, and you
2:49
Speaker 4: were one of them.
2:50
Speaker 5: How does that feel.
2:52
Speaker 6: It's a pretty amazing feeling. I'm kind of overwhelmed. I
2:56
Speaker 6: mean it seems like I literally got the election results.
3:00
Speaker 6: It's what ten thirty the other night, and it's been NonStop.
3:03
Speaker 6: I mean, the job kind of already started. You know,
3:07
Speaker 6: I've had to contact the board give them some personal information.
3:10
Speaker 6: I'm hearing from people that I'll be working with. So
3:14
Speaker 6: but it's great. I mean, my campaign we worked so hard.
3:18
Speaker 6: It was it was grassroots. It was, you know, just
3:21
Speaker 6: door to door doing the things so that people understood
3:24
Speaker 6: my story and where I was coming from. And the
3:26
Speaker 6: hard work paid off day.
3:28
Speaker 5: What was it that made you want to run for
3:31
Speaker 5: Bard of Education? To begin with?
3:32
Speaker 6: Lisa, Well, whenever I retired about a year ago after
3:36
Speaker 6: thirty five years in the in the county school system.
3:40
Speaker 6: You know, my last few years I was a myinerant,
3:42
Speaker 6: which means a traveling teacher. So I was responsible from
3:46
Speaker 6: you know, for all buildings in the county K twelve
3:49
Speaker 6: and so in that position, I started to hear stories
3:53
Speaker 6: from staff, from families, from students, and I'm thinking, you know,
3:57
Speaker 6: now that I'm out there and I'm hearing all this,
3:59
Speaker 6: you know, good and the bad of what people are
4:01
Speaker 6: seeing with our with our public school system. I thought,
4:03
Speaker 6: you know, I could be that that liaison. I could
4:06
Speaker 6: sit on the board. I can kind of bring all
4:08
Speaker 6: these groups together and you know, see if we can
4:10
Speaker 6: make a difference with our with our school system.
4:13
Speaker 5: You know, we're talking to Lisa Odie, who was elected
4:16
Speaker 5: on Tuesday to be on the Canawa County Boards of
4:18
Speaker 5: Board of Education. And Lisa, you and I talked here
4:20
Speaker 5: in your candidate interview. Canawa County schools have some some
4:24
Speaker 5: big things in front of them. I mean the issues
4:26
Speaker 5: of cutting budgets, consolidations up schools. We've seen that in
4:31
Speaker 5: the past, and all these things are on the horizon.
4:33
Speaker 5: There's a lot of tough decisions that are going to
4:35
Speaker 5: have to be made as a school board going.
4:37
Speaker 6: Forward, Oh for sure, you know, and a lot of
4:41
Speaker 6: it we just have to I think I think part
4:44
Speaker 6: of it is funding. Of course, all of it's funding.
4:46
Speaker 6: You know, when you're looking at saftuts, you know, consolidation,
4:50
Speaker 6: you have to look back at our budget and so
4:53
Speaker 6: obviously we're having some shortcomings with with the budget that
4:56
Speaker 6: we have and and and part of my response ability
5:00
Speaker 6: I feel like as a board member now is to
5:03
Speaker 6: advocate for our school system. One of the pieces of
5:06
Speaker 6: my platform, you know, was promising my constituents that I'm
5:11
Speaker 6: going to be that faith that's the legislature, so that they,
5:15
Speaker 6: you know, understand where I'm coming from.
5:17
Speaker 1: That.
5:17
Speaker 6: You know, we have to make sure our public schools
5:19
Speaker 6: are fully funded. You know, families are free to choose
5:22
Speaker 6: how they educate their their their children. I mean, I
5:25
Speaker 6: have no problem with that, but we also have to
5:27
Speaker 6: make sure that those who choose public schools get the
5:30
Speaker 6: you know, free and appropriate education that they're entitled to.
5:33
Speaker 4: Sorry it again with Lisa Odie, new member of the
5:35
Speaker 4: Canawk County Board of Education. The Dave Allen Show on
5:37
Speaker 4: five eighty line, brought to you in part by the
5:39
Speaker 4: all New Generations Ford of Hurricane Visit Generations for dot Com.
5:42
Speaker 4: I want to ask you, how was the campaign? I mean,
5:44
Speaker 4: did you run for office before?
5:46
Speaker 6: No?
5:47
Speaker 2: Never?
5:48
Speaker 6: No never. I mean this is all brand new to me,
5:53
Speaker 6: you know, I think I think what was key for me?
5:56
Speaker 6: You know, I hit the ground running with pre candidacy.
5:59
Speaker 6: I was there the first day in September when you
6:01
Speaker 6: could file for that, and I didn't stop. I mean
6:04
Speaker 6: day after I did that. We were fundraising, We were
6:07
Speaker 6: you know, trying to get my name out there, you know,
6:11
Speaker 6: just constantly. I mean I did not have a free weekend,
6:14
Speaker 6: I don't think until maybe in March, because every weekend
6:18
Speaker 6: we were consumed with, you know, going door to door,
6:20
Speaker 6: talking to the voters, seeing what their issues were, getting
6:24
Speaker 6: the signs out, doing all the you know, the media
6:28
Speaker 6: things that we needed to do just to make people,
6:30
Speaker 6: you know, understand where I was coming from and why
6:32
Speaker 6: I was doing what I was doing.
6:34
Speaker 4: Some of the questions I'm asking you are things that
6:36
Speaker 4: we covered in the candidates interviews that we did, but
6:38
Speaker 4: just in case people didn't hear it, your background, you
6:42
Speaker 4: referenced it at the top of the interview. With so
6:45
Speaker 4: many years that you had in the school system in
6:47
Speaker 4: a variety of roles, why do you think that will
6:49
Speaker 4: will help you out in this new role as a
6:51
Speaker 4: board member.
6:53
Speaker 6: Well, because, like I said, you know, I've been at
6:55
Speaker 6: all level. I've worked with all levels of kanall county schools,
6:59
Speaker 6: you know, public, and I've worked with administrators. You know,
7:03
Speaker 6: I've had principles in buildings that I had relationships with.
7:06
Speaker 6: Then once I was that traveling teacher that I tenerant
7:08
Speaker 6: reading specialists. You know, I was meeting with teachers one
7:11
Speaker 6: on one. I was working with students one on one.
7:14
Speaker 6: You know, my teaching didn't stop when I took that position. Actually,
7:17
Speaker 6: what I would do is I would come up with
7:19
Speaker 6: a plan as a team, the teacher, the administrators, the
7:22
Speaker 6: families and myself, and we all, you know, hit hit
7:25
Speaker 6: the ground running with a plan to help students, you know,
7:28
Speaker 6: achieve reading goals. So I never lost touch with my
7:32
Speaker 6: classroom rates. And I feel like all of that experiences,
7:36
Speaker 6: you know, mixed together. You know, it's kind of like
7:38
Speaker 6: a pot luck thing. But I feel like all of
7:40
Speaker 6: those experiences made me who I am and be able
7:44
Speaker 6: to serve on this board.
7:47
Speaker 4: We had a question that came on the text line
7:49
Speaker 4: here and it said, can you ask Lisa and the
7:50
Speaker 4: other new board members uh their plans to attract and
7:54
Speaker 4: keep students in the county school system. I mean, you
7:56
Speaker 4: said earlier that you know, parents have the right of
7:59
Speaker 4: a certain to educate their kids in the way that
8:01
Speaker 4: they see fit. But you know, keeping kids in public
8:03
Speaker 4: schools and retaining those kids is a problem.
8:06
Speaker 5: So how do you how do you plan to go
8:08
Speaker 5: about that as a board member?
8:10
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I feel like, Dave, what we need to
8:11
Speaker 6: do is we have some great, great staff, curriculums, programs,
8:16
Speaker 6: you know, from the bottom all the way to the top.
8:19
Speaker 6: I just feel like we need to make sure people
8:21
Speaker 6: understand what we can offer, you know, maybe push it
8:26
Speaker 6: more in the advertising department, you know, make sure that
8:29
Speaker 6: people are seeing what's going on in the schools. I mean,
8:33
Speaker 6: I feel like Kennel County Schools, they have a Facebook
8:35
Speaker 6: page that that does that pretty well. But maybe we
8:37
Speaker 6: can explore other options to make sure that people understand
8:41
Speaker 6: what we can give their students a world class education.
8:45
Speaker 4: You know what, I what I would say if you
8:47
Speaker 4: didn't ask me, but you know what, I would suggest
8:50
Speaker 4: a large radio campaign. That's what I would suggest, a
8:54
Speaker 4: large radio And at w hold on out. At WVRC Media,
8:58
Speaker 4: we not only do radio, but we were called media,
9:01
Speaker 4: so we do digital, we do websites, we do geo fencing,
9:05
Speaker 4: we can do all. I'm just throwing it out there, Lisa,
9:07
Speaker 4: and I know you don't make the decision, but I'm
9:09
Speaker 4: just throwing it out there.
9:10
Speaker 5: And you yourself, you know the power of radio.
9:13
Speaker 6: I'm just saying I surely do David. I will definitely
9:17
Speaker 6: keep that in mind. I know that my own personal campaign,
9:20
Speaker 6: you guys, you know I use that same same media
9:24
Speaker 6: company that you speak of, for sure, for sure, I
9:27
Speaker 6: think that's a great idea of day.
9:29
Speaker 5: We need to get you to do the testimonial.
9:30
Speaker 4: By the way, before we close, I do want to
9:33
Speaker 4: mention that Lisa, of course, is part of the uh

Speaker 5: come it up in the future at the farmers.
18:15
Speaker 13: So we got one coming up. Our next one will

18:33
Speaker 5: kind of an event, isn't.
18:35
Speaker 12: It's going to be a music event.
18:37
Speaker 13: I don't know all the bands and stuff, all that details,
18:40
Speaker 13: but it'll be from three to six on that day.
18:43
Speaker 5: I didn't I hadn't really thought about that as a
18:45
Speaker 5: place to have music. But have you've done that in
18:47
Speaker 5: the past.
18:47
Speaker 13: We have done in the past, But I got this
18:49
Speaker 13: one lined up and I got one in October lined
18:51
Speaker 13: up as well.
18:52
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, and now that Mother's Days past that
18:55
Speaker 4: they always say, and I don't know whether it's true
18:57
Speaker 4: or not. I don't have a green thumb, but my
18:58
Speaker 4: wife does, but I don't, but they that after Mother's
19:01
Speaker 4: Day that's when you're safe to plant and that sort
19:03
Speaker 4: of thing. What are some things at the farmers market
19:05
Speaker 4: that maybe people may not think of there because I
19:08
Speaker 4: know you frequently have food tree fruit, food trucks pretty
19:10
Speaker 4: much every week.
19:10
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean on week is we have our pop
19:12
Speaker 13: up vendors there with the food trucks and stuff. But
19:14
Speaker 13: during the week, you know, are are they're open? We
19:17
Speaker 13: got the flowers, the plants, we got the meats all
19:22
Speaker 13: during the week, and then why the food trucks and
19:24
Speaker 13: stuff on the weekends.
19:24
Speaker 4: And that's something with the meat that you don't normally
19:26
Speaker 4: think about with a lot of farmers mark thereuse a
19:28
Speaker 4: lot of it. It's just you know, you're basic producing thing,
19:30
Speaker 4: which is fine. But you guys got meat there. Yes,
19:32
Speaker 4: it's all locally raised. We got all the beef cuts,
19:35
Speaker 4: the chicken cuts, and.
19:36
Speaker 5: You have different people that come in.
19:37
Speaker 4: You have some of the people that are that are
19:39
Speaker 4: there you know pretty much all the time, but you
19:40
Speaker 4: also have different people that come in like for like
19:42
Speaker 4: one time appearance.
19:43
Speaker 13: Right, yeah, I mean yeah, and then what you know,
19:45
Speaker 13: what's crazy is there's still people coming in that haven't
19:48
Speaker 13: that they didn't know we were there. Yeah, so we
19:50
Speaker 13: saw have a lot of new people coming in. So
19:52
Speaker 13: I mean, it's it's it's going. It's going very very well.
19:56
Speaker 5: And what are the hours we.
19:57
Speaker 12: Are money through?
19:58
Speaker 13: Saturday nine am to six pm and Sunday twelve to four.
20:03
Speaker 4: And again, I know you've got a Facebook page and
20:05
Speaker 4: you know you guys do a great job on the
20:07
Speaker 4: social media there, so we heard you check it out.
20:09
Speaker 4: Somebody last time you were on the show said, or
20:11
Speaker 4: maybe it was the time before that you were talking
20:12
Speaker 4: about it and somebody said, we didn't tell us where
20:15
Speaker 4: it was. If you, I have a terrible sense of direction.
20:17
Speaker 4: If you can't find the South Charleston Farmers Market and
20:19
Speaker 4: you got bigger problems than I do.
20:21
Speaker 5: It's right by Bob Evans yea at South Charleston.
20:23
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think everybody they'll say it's the old rever
20:26
Speaker 13: f N location, or they'll say by Wendy's. But I
20:29
Speaker 13: always just tell people the address four thousand and six
20:31
Speaker 13: Macorkwy Avenue or the older mccorkyl.
20:33
Speaker 4: And you got plenty of parking there too, because you
20:35
Speaker 4: can park there. Do you have actual parking spots? Plus
20:37
Speaker 4: you can park along the fence there, yes, if you
20:39
Speaker 4: want to as well. How do you How do if
20:42
Speaker 4: people want to come to be a vendor at the
20:44
Speaker 4: Farmer's Market, how does that?
20:45
Speaker 1: Yes?
20:46
Speaker 13: So we have a we have an application process that
20:50
Speaker 13: they can go on our website to apply and we
20:52
Speaker 13: continuously review those and we reach out to them if
20:57
Speaker 13: they're from to fend them in.
20:58
Speaker 4: All right, and I know i'll i'll we have you
21:00
Speaker 4: on again before the fourth of July because this is
21:02
Speaker 4: a big one. You know, this is the two hundred
21:03
Speaker 4: and fifty celebration of America. I know you guys are
21:05
Speaker 4: going to have some things planned especially for that.
21:09
Speaker 12: Yeah.
21:10
Speaker 13: So actually we had we are opening up a capsule
21:12
Speaker 13: down down by City Hall, okay that day. I don't
21:18
Speaker 13: know all the detailed details she has said, but what
21:20
Speaker 13: will be doing. I think it's a fifty year capsule
21:23
Speaker 13: that we're going to be opening up.
21:24
Speaker 4: That's not Old Shaw, just so you know, it's not
21:27
Speaker 4: that that's not that old for somebody who's fifty five,
21:30
Speaker 4: that's not that We will give you more information about that.
21:32
Speaker 4: What else is new going on in South Charleston. I mean,
21:35
Speaker 4: everybody's of course focuses on and I on election night,
21:38
Speaker 4: I had the opportunity to interview Frank Mullins, who was
21:41
Speaker 4: re elected to that position. He was in the primary,
21:43
Speaker 4: but he didn't have I don't think democratic, I don't
21:45
Speaker 4: think opposition. But we had a chance to interview him
21:48
Speaker 4: on our local election coverage and and if I think
21:50
Speaker 4: he brought up a good point. He said, you know,
21:52
Speaker 4: people think about South Charleston if everybody focuses on the
21:57
Speaker 4: new development there, which is great, but there's a lot
21:58
Speaker 4: of other things going on. But I'm want to focus
22:00
Speaker 4: on the new stuff right now. What about Kroger? When
22:02
Speaker 4: when's the Kroger?
22:03
Speaker 13: Yeah, so they pine on opening up June twenty fourth, Okay,
22:06
Speaker 13: And then if you actually drive by there, you'll see
22:08
Speaker 13: two other structures being put up as well, and those
22:12
Speaker 13: will each house seven different tenants like Pizzas and cream
22:16
Speaker 13: Hu and Magoose.
22:18
Speaker 5: And these have already been announced, these places from coming
22:20
Speaker 5: right Yeah.
22:21
Speaker 13: And then actually Mission Barbecue, they started construction as well.
22:24
Speaker 4: Okay, any idea, I mean, I know it's it's kind
22:26
Speaker 4: of varies, but when do you think it may be
22:29
Speaker 4: once targeted for this mission.
22:30
Speaker 13: I think it's projected sometime this summer, okay, Yeah, and
22:33
Speaker 13: then fully the whole the whole shopping center projected to
22:36
Speaker 13: be done by the end of twenty twenty seven.
22:37
Speaker 5: Okay.
22:38
Speaker 4: And I mean it's you guys been working on this
22:40
Speaker 4: for a while. And the thing about development of this
22:43
Speaker 4: large is you're you're depending on so many other factors
22:45
Speaker 4: that you have no control over, you know, supply chain
22:47
Speaker 4: issues and weather and things of that nature. But I mean,
22:50
Speaker 4: as somebody, I'm not a construction guy, but I would say,
22:52
Speaker 4: in driving by which I just did two days ago,
22:56
Speaker 4: you guys have really really done a I think a
23:00
Speaker 4: a great job of getting this thing up quickly. I mean,
23:02
Speaker 4: you've it looks great or it's gonna look great.
23:05
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, the Mayor's on such a great job.
23:08
Speaker 13: And then you know, because of park Place, it's really
23:11
Speaker 13: there's there's been such a positive domino effect. You know,
23:14
Speaker 13: you got the spring Hill development, we got the Jefferson
23:17
Speaker 13: Park development, and then also kind of what you're seeing
23:19
Speaker 13: now as you're seeing existing businesses reinvest I don't know
23:23
Speaker 13: if you've seen that the Burger King buildings down right now,
23:26
Speaker 13: they're actually gonna be building a new one.
23:27
Speaker 5: Yeah. I saw that the other day. They're tearing down
23:29
Speaker 5: the home of the Whopper, but they're bringing it back. Yeah,
23:31
Speaker 5: you know, like it will be a double whopper when
23:32
Speaker 5: it comes back.
23:33
Speaker 2: I guess.
23:33
Speaker 4: Sean Zonder is here from the city of South Charleston.
23:36
Speaker 4: Just a lot of exciting stuff going on. Let's get
23:38
Speaker 4: back to the parade. It's the sixty seventh annual Herbert J.
23:40
Speaker 4: Thomas Memorial Armed Forces Day Parade, happening this Saturday at
23:43
Speaker 4: noon D Street in South Charleston. And you can just,
23:47
Speaker 4: like I guess, go on your Facebook page if you
23:48
Speaker 4: need more information about that, or you know, contact the
23:50
Speaker 4: folks with the with the Chamber, the CVB and I
23:52
Speaker 4: should say, in City Hall or whatever. Lineup will start
23:55
Speaker 4: around eleven o'clock and again it's very simple in the
23:59
Speaker 4: line of the way, you got do it along the
24:01
Speaker 4: railroad tracks and then it's a very it's a very
24:04
Speaker 4: very short I don't wanna say it's sort because of
24:06
Speaker 4: the number of people, but it's but it's very it's
24:08
Speaker 4: a very quick parade. It doesn't take a long so
24:09
Speaker 4: it's it's not going to take up your whole day
24:12
Speaker 4: and things of that nature. All right, kind of text
24:17
Speaker 4: here it says, I do I do wish South Charleston
24:21
Speaker 4: did did hold this record, but sadly we do not.
24:24
Speaker 4: For the long I said, believe to be my textors
24:27
Speaker 4: do the research. So you know, Sean Chattanooga, Tennessee host
24:31
Speaker 4: the longest continuously running parade, celebrated over seven decades of
24:35
Speaker 4: patriotic march. It's second is Bremerton, Washington, which dates back
24:39
Speaker 4: to nineteen forty eight. Now this though, I throw a
24:42
Speaker 4: little asterisk in here, this is an Armed Forces Day parade,
24:46
Speaker 4: right all right, So we don't know whether those other
24:47
Speaker 4: cities have actually had an arm This is an Armed
24:49
Speaker 4: Forces Day parade. Yes, so if nothing else, we will
24:53
Speaker 4: drive to Chattanooga and Bremerton, and with the guns you've
24:56
Speaker 4: got over there, I think we could probably just take
24:58
Speaker 4: them out, all right, But I do appreciate all. We've
25:01
Speaker 4: got a question for you, is Benards coming to South Charleston.
25:04

Speaker 4: punch me like she's gonna punch you, right, all right,
29:00
Speaker 4: all right, So talk about this project that you've got
29:03
Speaker 4: and I kind of teased it a little bit, but
29:04
Speaker 4: to take it from the top, explain to people what
29:07
Speaker 4: first of all, explain what it is that you guys
29:09
Speaker 4: do and how it relates to this project that you
29:12
Speaker 4: work with.
29:12
Speaker 2: Okay, So in January fourteenth, we were at a meeting
29:17
Speaker 2: and one of the local fireman guys was like, you
29:20
Speaker 2: have to turn this into something special. So before then
29:24
Speaker 2: I was just kind of traveling around. I say, ah,
29:26
Speaker 2: but it's really we we're traveling around scanning old fire
29:29
Speaker 2: photos an e MS photos and we're talking like photos
29:32
Speaker 2: from the nineteen seventies, eighties, nineties, whatever, parades, just that
29:37
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. And he kind of pulled me aside.
29:40
Speaker 2: He was like, you don't know what you're doing.
29:41
Speaker 5: And I'm like, so you're just going and just these
29:44
Speaker 5: fire departments saying hey, can we scan your photos?
29:45
Speaker 2: Basically, well, it wasn't even fire departments at the point.
29:48
Speaker 2: It was just oh, just individuals. Individuals. They're like scrapbooks and.
29:52
Speaker 5: What were you looking for in those photos?
29:54
Speaker 2: Apparatusfy anything, And you know, he was like, you have
29:59
Speaker 2: to start a business out of this or start a
30:00
Speaker 2: different page. So we kind of always joked and called
30:04
Speaker 2: it the Hackworth Fire Collection. Somebody give me a badge
30:06
Speaker 2: or something, I be like, that's going to go in
30:08
Speaker 2: the collection. So we made a Facebook January fourteenth, and
30:14
Speaker 2: today is May fourteenth, and we are up to almost
30:19
Speaker 2: seven thousand followers. We've traveled to thirty fire departments since
30:22
Speaker 2: January fourteenth, all over the state of West Virginia. You
30:26
Speaker 2: can go to any state around here and they have
30:29
Speaker 2: a fireman's museum. West Virginia likes that, and by god,
30:33
Speaker 2: we're going to change that. Okay, we have hopes of
30:36
Speaker 2: traveling to all four hundred and thirty three fire departments
30:39
Speaker 2: in the state of West Virginia, which, yes, that's a task.
30:43
Speaker 2: But if there's a will, there's a way.
30:45
Speaker 4: Why is it so important? And tomorrow you can weigh
30:47
Speaker 4: in on this if you want to. Why do you
30:49
Speaker 4: guys think that it's so important to tell this history?
30:53
Speaker 2: Okay, she's not that, that's all right, go ahead. It's well,
30:57
Speaker 2: it's just these people have sacrificed their whole life majority
31:01
Speaker 2: to give back to others. And yes, West Virginia has
31:05
Speaker 2: a fallen firefightres memorial, and that's the ultimate sacrifice. But
31:10
Speaker 2: what about the little man who even only spent two
31:12
Speaker 2: years on a fire department, maybe just ran two fires
31:15
Speaker 2: or two recks, but to a civilian that was their
31:18
Speaker 2: worst day, you know. I mean like they need to
31:21
Speaker 2: get that credit and their stories deserve to be told.
31:25
Speaker 2: And it's more than just scanning photos. We also conduct
31:28
Speaker 2: interviews kind of like what we're doing here, but we
31:30
Speaker 2: actually do video with it, and just.
31:35
Speaker 7: We're also preserving the current history. We take pictures of.
31:38
Speaker 5: The shoot in form me a little bit there if
31:39
Speaker 5: you would go ahead.
31:40
Speaker 7: We take pictures of the newer apparatus in the departments
31:44
Speaker 7: so we.
31:44
Speaker 5: Can buy our apparatus.
31:45
Speaker 4: We're talking about just you know, equipment and things like that. Yeah, okay,
31:48
Speaker 4: you want to make sure people need to go ahead.
31:49
Speaker 7: Yes, the fire trucks all of their different equipment. We
31:53
Speaker 7: usually try to pick like a staple place in the
31:56
Speaker 7: town that we're at, like Richwood. We did it in
31:58
Speaker 7: there in the sawmill by the fire our department, which
32:01
Speaker 7: was very cool.
32:03
Speaker 2: Bethany we did it with Bethany College with it in
32:05
Speaker 2: the background. So it's it's more than just pulling them
32:08
Speaker 2: pulling these fire trucks out in front of the fire station,
32:10
Speaker 2: staffing photos because we want to try to say with
32:14
Speaker 2: everything in West Virginia, it all relates back to the jobs.
32:20
Speaker 2: So in the Northern Panhandle. You have steel, so we
32:24
Speaker 2: want to, you know, use the steel yards. You know,
32:26
Speaker 2: how did that kind of influence the fire fighting here
32:30
Speaker 2: or the ems with rich Wood, you have the saw mills.
32:33
Speaker 2: It's called rich Wood for a reason. And we're like,
32:36
Speaker 2: let's incorporate the community into this.
32:39
Speaker 5: Let the community tell its story. Is part of what you.
32:41
Speaker 2: Guys are doing exactly exactly, and this is I kind
32:45
Speaker 2: of get an emotional about this, but we always say
32:49
Speaker 2: that we want a brick and mortar. But you know,
32:52
Speaker 2: we're not millionaires. We're both full time EMTs, a kind
32:55
Speaker 2: all kind of antlans. We do this as a We
32:58
Speaker 2: do have a business license. We make very We lose
33:01
Speaker 2: money hand over fist by doing this, but it's we
33:05
Speaker 2: want to preserve and make sure that this stuff's there
33:08
Speaker 2: for the future. And it's just it's we enjoy ourselves
33:12
Speaker 2: doing it.
33:12
Speaker 7: There's a lot of family members that see our posts
33:16
Speaker 7: that we put out of the pictures and things that
33:19
Speaker 7: have never seen their family doing things that they loved.
33:23
Speaker 2: We were actually contacted when we did Barbersville. A gentleman
33:28
Speaker 2: commented on one of the photos and said, I'm perfectly
33:31
Speaker 2: fine with the water mark, but could you move it?
33:33
Speaker 2: He was like, that is the only picture I have
33:35
Speaker 2: of me and my father's him as a fireman. So
33:39
Speaker 2: I seen him the picture just without the watermark completely,
33:41
Speaker 2: because that's that's the right thing to do. Sure. Yeah,
33:44
Speaker 2: And a few days later he texts me He's like whoa,
33:47
Speaker 2: and I'm like, what are we? Whoaeing?
33:50
Speaker 6: Well?
33:50
Speaker 12: Good? Whoa good?
33:52
Speaker 2: Woa good. So his father actually had to bail out
33:55
Speaker 2: of a window of a two story house. It flashed,
33:59
Speaker 2: which means every thing So imagine this room is on
34:02
Speaker 2: fire and flashes when everything in this room reaches its
34:06
Speaker 2: temperature points, so it combusts. So it was about to combust,
34:11
Speaker 2: and he jumped out of a window. Well, the whole
34:13
Speaker 2: family story was this happened. Well, his children was like, yeah, right, Dad,
34:19
Speaker 2: you know that never happened or whatever. It's like, No,
34:21
Speaker 2: I was on the cover of the Huntington Herald, And
34:26
Speaker 2: so as they got older, they kept hearing it and
34:29
Speaker 2: contacted Grandma. You know, do you have a copy of
34:31
Speaker 2: when dad was on the front page of the paper?
34:34
Speaker 2: No contact to Huntington, Harold, it's not out there. So
34:39
Speaker 2: we had actually found that picture and posted it of
34:42
Speaker 2: his dad bailing out of that window, and he was like,
34:45
Speaker 2: this means more to me than the world. But talking
34:47
Speaker 2: about the million dollar thing, because I kind of went
34:49
Speaker 2: off on a tangent.
34:50
Speaker 5: Oh that you had me like, I'll take this thing
34:53
Speaker 5: into talk line.
34:54
Speaker 2: Man.
34:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, weh god, it's ten twenty, but go ahead.
34:58
Speaker 2: So you know, we have what all fifteen reviews on Facebook,
35:04
Speaker 2: We have a good word, i'd like to think, but
35:07
Speaker 2: all of it means more when you get a message
35:10
Speaker 2: like that saying this is the first time I've seen
35:11
Speaker 2: my father and Bunker Gear driving a truck in a parade.
35:14
Speaker 2: This is the only picture we know of. Somebody could
35:17
Speaker 2: walk in here right now and offer us a million
35:19
Speaker 2: dollars and it still wouldn't be the same effect as
35:21
Speaker 2: someone saying, hey, that's the only picture I have of
35:24
Speaker 2: my father, grandfather, grandmother mother doing their passion.
35:30
Speaker 12: Right.
35:30
Speaker 5: Wow, this this is good stuff. I mean, it really
35:33
Speaker 5: really is.
35:33
Speaker 4: Because again, these stories, you know, kind of get exaggerated
35:38
Speaker 4: over the years and whatever, and you know, and they
35:41
Speaker 4: you know, you know how it is your doodle hackworth Son,
35:43
Speaker 4: you know you know what BS is.
35:47
Speaker 5: I'm kiddy, I'm kiddy, I'm kiddy. Doodles A good friend
35:50
Speaker 5: of mine.
35:50
Speaker 4: He's with the Aim of Steel band, which up by
35:52
Speaker 4: the way playing at the Putnam Moose Club Saturday night.
35:55
Speaker 5: Whant to make sure I get that in there, all right, So.
35:58
Speaker 2: I do want to interrupt you about some really quick
36:00
Speaker 2: Amos Steel is also playing the Glasgow seventy fifth Anniversary,
36:04
Speaker 2: which is June thirteenth, so that's a big deal for it,
36:06
Speaker 2: kind of you know, we're in bed with both of
36:08
Speaker 2: them with the fire Department because we're both on Glasgow
36:10
Speaker 2: and Dad will be playing there. So all right, everybody
36:13
Speaker 2: come out to that.
36:13
Speaker 5: Wow, they're on tour now, aren't they.
36:15
Speaker 4: I guess we just have to get Tony the Taylor
36:17
Speaker 4: to make them a shirt that with two dates on it.
36:21
Speaker 4: But no, no, they did rip past last week to
36:24
Speaker 4: I give my guys a hard time because they're great guys,
36:26
Speaker 4: and your dad's a wonderful human being, or don't. I
36:28
Speaker 4: hope he's not listening. I don't want to have to
36:30
Speaker 4: put up with that. But anyway, I kind of got
36:33
Speaker 4: off on a tangent. Now this stuff is when you
36:36
Speaker 4: said that story about how they didn't have any and
36:40
Speaker 4: they ask you to remove the watermark, which again watermark
36:42
Speaker 4: is a little thing in the corner. People don't know that,
36:44
Speaker 4: says who owns this picture? Basically, and where did you find?
36:48
Speaker 4: Tell me again where you got that?
36:49
Speaker 2: We found that picture in about how many about fifteen
36:54
Speaker 2: eighteen albumsparks in Barbersville Fire Department that they all laid out.
36:58
Speaker 2: So we're kind of go down that tangent. So we
37:02
Speaker 2: don't charge for any of our services. This is completely free.
37:05
Speaker 2: I was joking with the gentleman out in the green room.
37:08
Speaker 2: We're losing money hand over fist when it comes to this.
37:10
Speaker 2: Like I said, we're EMTs, but we love doing it,
37:13
Speaker 2: so at that point it's no money. But so what
37:15
Speaker 2: we do is we travel the state, you know, we
37:17
Speaker 2: set updates with fire departments and say hey, we'll be
37:21
Speaker 2: there eleven. We'll do an interview with it. Don't have to.
37:24
Speaker 2: It could be a member that's only been on the
37:25
Speaker 2: fire department a month, or it could be this very
37:28
Speaker 2: first chief you have, very first chief, or this man
37:31
Speaker 2: was in the Bucket brigade in eighteen ninety two. It
37:34
Speaker 2: doesn't matter to us.
37:35
Speaker 4: Actually, I got a text here from Joe Stevens on
37:37
Speaker 4: we know Joe or not he's with a nitro Well
37:38
Speaker 4: Joe does a lot of things. He's with the Nitro CVB,
37:41
Speaker 4: the Mayor's office and the fire department, so on and
37:43
Speaker 4: so forth. He said to and I'll make sure that
37:46
Speaker 4: you get this to give him to give you guess
37:48
Speaker 4: his number for the Nitro Fire Department. Okay, And he
37:50
Speaker 4: has picks from nineteen seventeen when Nitro was formed.
37:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so far.
37:55
Speaker 5: And Joe was actually there in nineteen seventeen. So there's that.
37:58
Speaker 2: So far. The oldest pictures we've skied and is pre
38:01
Speaker 2: Civil War, wasn't.
38:02
Speaker 7: It nineteen oh one?
38:05
Speaker 12: Wet?
38:06
Speaker 2: But still, I mean still, but these photos there's people
38:11
Speaker 2: who are in Florida. I mean, for some odd reason,
38:14
Speaker 2: that's what Virginia's retirement home with Florida. Everybody knows that,
38:17
Speaker 2: so we get I thought, that's Walmart. There's people from
38:21
Speaker 2: all over the country. That's messages saying, hey, you know
38:25
Speaker 2: what you're doing is great. I was affiliated with this
38:27
Speaker 2: fire department for five years. We were in FDIC, which
38:31
Speaker 2: is the Fire Department Instructors Conference, which is like the
38:34
Speaker 2: Coachella of the fire service. That's the best way to
38:38
Speaker 2: it is it is And.
38:40
Speaker 4: That made me be the most bizarre reference I've ever heard,
38:43
Speaker 4: but go ahead delling.
38:44
Speaker 2: It's the hack worst me what I say. So, we
38:47
Speaker 2: were just walking down the halls and random people would
38:49
Speaker 2: walk up and say, hey, I just want you to
38:51
Speaker 2: know that you pasted a picture of me from Somersville
38:54
Speaker 2: when I was there as a junior. And I'm like,
38:57
Speaker 2: that's awesome. He was like, I didn't know these pictures existed.
39:00
Speaker 2: So it's it's the outreach. We were over here at
39:03
Speaker 2: the V one hundred yards cell.
39:04
Speaker 7: Somebody walked up to us and was like, hey, we
39:06
Speaker 7: love your stuff. When are you coming to us?
39:08
Speaker 2: I think it was Pok Poka, So it's we love it.
39:13
Speaker 5: How do people reach out to you? That's what I
39:15
Speaker 5: want to make sure. So what's the best way to
39:17
Speaker 5: do it?
39:17
Speaker 4: Because there's people listening right now, they're going, well, I've
39:19
Speaker 4: got some stuff and yeah, and again they don't they
39:21
Speaker 4: just scan your photos that they're not taking them forever exactly.
39:24
Speaker 2: And that's one thing we want to like beat into people.
39:26
Speaker 2: I don't want your negatives. I don't want that responsibility
39:28
Speaker 2: of taking those home. That is like our number one
39:30
Speaker 2: golden rule is we don't take photos home because that
39:33
Speaker 2: is the biggest thing. Photos grow legs and walk off.
39:36
Speaker 7: We don't like to remove them from where they need
39:39
Speaker 7: to be. They need to stay in their home.
39:41
Speaker 2: But to contact us private messages on Facebook And what
39:47
Speaker 2: is the Facebook Hackworth Fire Collection LLC. It's a picture
39:50
Speaker 2: of our logo, which is a multice cross with HFC
39:53
Speaker 2: across it. It's it's not hard to miss. It's got
39:57
Speaker 2: the thin red line. That's the West Virginia.
40:00
Speaker 6: Uh.
40:00
Speaker 2: Email Highworthfire Collection at gmail dot com and all of
40:04
Speaker 2: our informations on Facebook. We're pretty easy to reach.
40:07
Speaker 4: Okay, are there any community because with it be in
40:10
Speaker 4: West Virginia and even though this show is based in Charleston,
40:13
Speaker 4: you know, via the magic of al Gore's Internet and
40:17
Speaker 4: this show, I mean, people are listening to us all
40:18
Speaker 4: over literally all over the country. Yes, at least three
40:21
Speaker 4: or four uh, you know, all over the country right now.
40:24
Speaker 4: Is there any areas of the state that maybe you
40:26
Speaker 4: haven't heard from?
40:26
Speaker 5: I'm talking about you. I'm like eastern Panhandled northern that
40:29
Speaker 5: that you'd like to get.
40:30
Speaker 2: Actually, we've heard from both.
40:32
Speaker 5: Okay, so we more.
40:34
Speaker 7: Central states that we are, central counties that we haven't from.
40:37
Speaker 2: There's fire departments in Kanall County that I haven't heard from.
40:40
Speaker 5: All right, well this is Kanaw County, so so tell
40:42
Speaker 5: me who you're looking for.
40:43
Speaker 2: Uh, let's see, let's get down the line. Cisonville, we
40:46
Speaker 2: touched on some of their chief stuff. We haven't invited there.
40:50
Speaker 2: We've been now been invited to Nitro. We hadn't heard
40:52
Speaker 2: from them.
40:53
Speaker 7: Uh.
40:53
Speaker 2: South Charleston, we haven't. We gave them some business cards.
40:57
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say, do you know we just had the
40:58
Speaker 5: spokesperson for the city of South Charles.
41:00
Speaker 2: I did not. I should have stoped him in the hallway.
41:03
Speaker 5: Sean, if you're listening, you know, get in touch with
41:05
Speaker 5: this guy. Go ahead some more.
41:07
Speaker 2: Charleston, we're actually going. Charleston was one of the first
41:10
Speaker 2: paid fire departments to reach out, which it was Isaac Bernetti.
41:13
Speaker 2: Shout out, Isaac, if you're listening to it, it's your birthday,
41:16
Speaker 2: Happy birthday. But their Union Hall reached out, which you know,
41:21
Speaker 2: I aff and they wanted us to come and scan
41:24
Speaker 2: all their history and some of their stuff is all
41:26
Speaker 2: the way before eighteen hundreds. But what's interesting is you'll
41:30
Speaker 2: have eager, younger people in the fire department. He'll reach
41:33
Speaker 2: out and say, hey, come to Yadayata Volunteer Fire Department.
41:37
Speaker 12: I'm like, okay.
41:38
Speaker 2: I was like, let's set up a date, and it's crickets.
41:40
Speaker 7: I gotta talk to a bunch of tea.
41:42
Speaker 2: If I got to talk to a lot of people,
41:43
Speaker 2: get a little gung ho and message and say hey,
41:46
Speaker 2: we want to come, and then you kind of fizzle out.
41:48
Speaker 2: But getting back to the whole road to four thirty three,
41:51
Speaker 2: it's it's not impossible. We've We've decided to name it
41:55
Speaker 2: Bethany Weekend. So Bethany invited us up, and Bethany's good
42:00
Speaker 2: little hall. From here, it is you can't get there
42:02
Speaker 2: from here, as my father would say, and I told him.
42:05
Speaker 2: I was like, look, I was like, I have no
42:07
Speaker 2: problem coming. But I was like, let's make it worth
42:09
Speaker 2: aur while. I was like, invite text or representative from
42:14
Speaker 2: every fire department in Brook County and say hey, these
42:17
Speaker 2: guys are coming up. You know, let's set up time
42:20
Speaker 2: frames and we busted out how many fire departments in
42:23
Speaker 2: that I say busted out. I don't like that term
42:25
Speaker 2: because you still feel like you could spend a wee
42:28
Speaker 2: mixt hours at a fire department and still not feel
42:30
Speaker 2: like you gained anything.
42:32
Speaker 7: We met with probably six or seven while we were there,
42:35
Speaker 7: but on our way up all the way from Parkersburg
42:40
Speaker 7: all the way into brook County on Route two. We
42:42
Speaker 7: stayed on route too, and we stopped at eighteen fire
42:46
Speaker 7: departments along the way, just stopping mind saying, hey, this
42:49
Speaker 7: is who we are, just trying to get our name
42:50
Speaker 7: out there.
42:51
Speaker 2: And what was funny was towards the end of it,
42:53
Speaker 2: the word had gotten out.
42:54
Speaker 7: People were watching because every every department we would stop at,
42:58
Speaker 7: we'd post a video. Hey we're here, we didn't see anybody.
43:01
Speaker 7: We left you guys a little something. And then, like
43:04
Speaker 7: he said, the closer we got more people would realize
43:07
Speaker 7: we were on our way and they would be there
43:09
Speaker 7: waiting on Yes.
43:09
Speaker 2: At one point we got to Benwood, which is just
43:12
Speaker 2: barely south of Wheeling, and they had nine members just
43:16
Speaker 2: sitting there waiting for us to come in. I felt
43:19
Speaker 2: like there was gonna be like a marching band by
43:21
Speaker 2: the time we got to Brooklyn County waiting for us
43:23
Speaker 2: to play. But it's just there's a lot of fire
43:26
Speaker 2: departments in wes Virginia's like there's four thirty three and
43:29
Speaker 2: the problem is that's a dwindling number. Yeah, and one thing.
43:35
Speaker 2: We have a bunch of Smithers Fire Department stuff, a
43:37
Speaker 2: bunch of Smithers Fire Department stuff, and they were the
43:40
Speaker 2: last fire department in West Virginia shut down and where's
43:44
Speaker 2: their history going. Luckily we're here to preserve it. I
43:49
Speaker 2: have there one of if there's a few names you
43:52
Speaker 2: can drop in West Virginia with the fire service, and
43:55
Speaker 2: you're pretty much like that's cream of the crop. You
43:58
Speaker 2: got Matt Jackson, who was a Charleston fireman, phenomenal man.
44:02
Speaker 7: Everybody knows him, Matt Jackson.
44:06
Speaker 2: And there's a cool thing in our collection that a
44:08
Speaker 2: lot of people didn't know about. And I was able
44:10
Speaker 2: to share the story there was I cannot think off
44:13
Speaker 2: the top of my head. I read the article yesterday
44:14
Speaker 2: for it. There was a whiskey decanner made of a
44:18
Speaker 2: fireman in three quarter boots which are the pull up
44:21
Speaker 2: boots and you don't know, in long coats like they've
44:22
Speaker 2: worn in the seventies, wearing a red helmet and you
44:26
Speaker 2: see it in collections and stuff. Well, fun fact that
44:30
Speaker 2: is actually sculpted after Matt Jackson. Oh really, he was
44:34
Speaker 2: an African American captain for Charleston Fire like I said,
44:37
Speaker 2: phenomenal man, And we were actually able to share the
44:40
Speaker 2: story for a lot of people saying, hey, this is Matt.
44:44
Speaker 2: And I kind of shot myself in the foot because
44:46
Speaker 2: I didn't own one. There was about what ten of
44:49
Speaker 2: them on eBay.
44:50
Speaker 7: I kept telling him. I was like, here, I get
44:52
Speaker 7: you one. I can get you one. He's like, no,
44:54
Speaker 7: not yet, not yet.
44:55
Speaker 2: The next day after my post, they were gone, and
44:58
Speaker 2: everybody like a week later like look what I got
45:01
Speaker 2: in the mail. Look what I got in the mail.
45:02
Speaker 2: So it's like we're really shining a spotlight on things
45:06
Speaker 2: that should have been shined on a long time ago.
45:08
Speaker 5: All Right, we got to wrap it up.
45:10
